There was a change to the database file format that dealt with byte order independence. You can probably use the older pwd_mkdb and recover all your accounts by reverting the "upgrade" from using the new utility. See also the CVS log for the passwd program, and the discussion on the -current mailing list (I believe the change was PHK's idea; I didn't participate in the discussion). -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
